Germany's Stonehenge

[@johannageisel5390]

Fun fact: They have found an entire settlement next to this henge. There was a dig this summer and I hope we can see the results soon.

[@worrywirt]

I was digging there in 2019 for fieldwork training and we found a human burial! Can’t wait to see the monograph 😍

[@benwinter2420]

Three concentric rings same as Stonehenge . . representation same perhaps of the old system above the polar configuration , the one eye close in old north sky , the trinity holy/unholy . . who knows these things

No

[@Colourmad314]

I shouldn’t say there is a Wood Henge,( the remains were found and there are concrete posts set in place of each post ) not far from Stone Henge and it is considered contemporary….yes have visited

[@Father_Syrinx]

So many places like this are probably lost for good.

[@Oooliva-m1l]

Majority of human history is considered lost. Imagine all the early rituals, religions, and complex ideas that were the precursors for our eventual existence.

[@gravel9270]

​​@@Oooliva-m1l Sad to think about how many cultures and records are eliminated throughout history whether intentional or not.

Im German and have never heard of this. I will have to take a trip!

[@caspar_van_walde]

Das Landesmuseum für Vorgeschichte Halle hat dazu (uA) deutschsprachige Videos auf deren KZbin-Kanal. Kann ich sehr empfehlen!

[@DaZlehrerin1980]

@ Lieben Danke! Werde ich mir definitiv anschauen.

Lmao the thumbnail image looks like stickhenge

[@julesgosnell9791]

hmmm... I thought that Stonehenge was built before the Bell Beaker people arrived in Britain ? so I wouldn't expect the unrelated British Neolithic Farmers and the German Bell Beakers to be both building similar monuments - unless the GBBs inherited it from an earlier culture related to the BNFs or there was a lot of cultural exchange...

Metagenetics?

[@167curly]

Stonehenge's preceding structure was called "Woodhenge".

[@tinycockjock1967]

My guess is a fight club arena type shit you go and get drunk on holidays and big events even bigger crowds in solstices for example, inner ring is arena, second ring is sober people working their voluntary shift (take turns around the holidays) pushing fighters back in and drunk spectators out of the inner ring, outer ring and even more outside is spectator area. Alcohol is intertwined with out cultures worldwide lmao

[@KippyCarsVroom]

Why was there women and children buried there then?

[@tinycockjock1967]

@ uhhh….. vanquished contestants????

[@fren98]

Definitely not regular sport and drinking, as this was sacred place but its possible ritual fights, martial arts or games took place there.

[@Robgoodsight]

Following the rule: we shouldn't talk about it!

[@Zane-It]

This is incredible

[@ForgeMoon]

visited it a few years back. really impressive!

[@SUBHADEEPBHATTACHARYA-y4g]

Fascinating

[@shannonr1983]

How is it known the pits are sacrificial?

[@MasonThomas_yt]

I get you and Stefan Milo sooo confused 😂❤

[@elliotmurphy534]

A little conspiracy to spice things up. It could maybe have been used for an early form of ball game/ ritualised competitive play, it would certainly explain the alcohol 😂😂

[@JDog-d8f]

Why are these rituals considered dark? 🤔

[@jagosevatarion8822]

Maybe because they sacrificed women and children as stated in the video.

[@benwinter2420]

Yeah well . . when mainstream religions adopt the same beliefs old pagan . . the rituals become 'light' . . Mars mass for instance coming up . . can get into the tree with star atop & 'red' Santa coming down the chimney/tree & a partridge in a pear tree . . old planetary arrangements & former Suns above . . brushed under the rug of religion

[@TheVideoNorm]

Dark because betting and alcohol involved. GA & AA would not approve 😂

[@jagosevatarion8822]

@TheVideoNorm dark because they involved sacrificing w'omen and c'hildren as implied in the long video.

[@TheVideoNorm]

@@jagosevatarion8822 , the first Rule about Woodhenge is we don't talk about sacrificing w'omen and c'hildren at Woodhenge.

[@Thor-Orion]

So then shouldn’t it be called Wood Henge?

[@DanDavisHistory]

No that's in England

[@PhilanderingBastard]

In German it’s simply called Circular Sanctuary

[@johannageisel5390]

@@DanDavisHistory I don't know about the international use, but in German archaeology "a woodhenge" is sometimes used to describe these structures, no matter where they are. There are several all over Europe. One in the Netherlands was found relatively recently, closing the gap between the German ones and British ones.

That's a jaw line there. But interesting site thanks for sharing.

[@edwardelric717]

So human sacrifice?

[@benwinter2420]

Yeah in the middle a trip the alter of sacrifice . . Mars/Christ sacrifice for us actual , old system natural not supernatural fractal affairs above Suns rutting/war in heaven Sun swap . . but as usual not as simple as that

[@martijn9568]

"Germany's Stonehenge". It may be a lazy made up title, but it probably works. If it didn't lazy human beings wouldn't klick on it!😅

[@faragraf9380]

its called woodhenge

No it isn't that's something else
